姚学琛(林保怡 饰)记忆力超群,曾经跟一神秘女子习过记忆技巧,加之赴美国学习犯罪心理学,遂成为一名非凡的“读心神探”。所谓“读心”就是能够从人的一言一行洞察其内心的真实想法,学琛凭借这项能力屡破疑案。学琛工作的警局也有着错综复杂的关系:对学琛“读心”能力颇有微词的新人何礼贤(黄宗泽 饰)竟背地里与其妹贝儿( 陈茵媺 饰)交往;另一位离异同事叶展婷(田蕊妮 饰)对学琛颇有好感。但在学琛内心深处却有一个不为人知的心理阴影——少时曾经亲眼目睹自己的父亲因意外而死,后随母亲改嫁在一个不健全的家庭成长。岂料,某日学琛“死去”的父亲竟然意外出现……
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
